Re: What is Your Single Favorite Thing About Blu-ray (or Other HD) Playback?

Nice! And agreed! Though if I could have the choice of 480p extras with the film on one disc or 1080p on two discs, I'd vote for the latter.

But, Jari, if you don't mind me pressing, what about it exactly? For instance, I mentioned Blu-ray's clarity and detail being great, but seeing extra details like fabric weave and body hairs is one thing*, the sense of three-dimensionality it helps cultivate is what truly awes me. Is there a specific aspect to the greater clarity that really drops your jaw?

* = Though I must admit, seeing insect hairs all over Jeff Goldblum's face in the shaving scene of THE FLY that I'd never noticed on SD really put a sick grin on my face this weekend.



Ernest Hemingway once wrote, \"The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.\" I agree with the second part...
